Just had this idea pop up in my mind. Instead of relying on volunteers mirroring package repositories all around the world, why not utilise BitTorrent protocol to move at the very least some some load unto the users and thus increase download speeds as well as decrease latency?
I know the title sounds a little strange but hear me out. The time tracking software I use for work doesn’t work on Wayland, unless I’m using Gnome as my DE. They have an extension that allows it to work in this case. Personally, I don’t enjoy Gnome on my desktop (I use it on my laptop). Is there a way for me to get the...
There’s this game I’m trying to download, and it’s big enough that it’s going to take several days of continuous downloading to get. I have about half of it so far. I want it to download during my scheduled auto update hours, and pause in the morning when I wake up. Sounds simple, right?...
As the title says, I want to play the Epic Games version of Just Cause 4. I have got the same version of wine as the version Lutris uses - wine-ge-8.26 - and I’ve copied the wine prefix to get the same files exactly. I run Just Cause 4, and on Lutris is runs at an easy 60fps on High, but from the CLI it runs at about 20fps on...
With how disappointing the latest sequels of famous franchises had been during this first half of the 2020s (except resident evil, yay) I expect GTA to fall a bit short as well…...
I just bought a nice OLED monitor and I’m trying to take advantage of it to play my games in HDR. If I run my games in gamescope, then HDR runs fine but my PS4 controller doesn’t work. If I play without gamescope, the controller works, but HDR does not....
Bleh, haven’t been here in a while. So I have a Windows 10 PC that I use for gaming and a Fedora laptop I use for everything else. I simply cannot go back to not having tabs. I don’t understand why Windows doesn’t have them by default. So help me out here.
A fascinating question because I used to intentionally make my characters Mary Sues. As a former child who used to write, for a while I never understood why people would give character traits they disagree with to the character or characters who are supposed to represent what is right in your world, since they’re the ones...
[Switched to Proton Experimental and everything is working flawlessly.]...
I’m Running Linux Mint 21.3 mainly using Lutris and Steam for some native Linux games. It’s so annoying, especially when it sometimes disconnects the gamepad. I’m using an Xbox One S controller connected through a USB cable.
Hi guys. my first post here if i do something wrong please tell me so i can fix it. Anyways. Like i said in the title, game’s FPS drops significantly on cutscenes in match (intro, x-ray and fatality) In game i mostly get fixed 60 fps but when it comes to prerendered scene FPS drops. I did wait for cache for rendering and i use...
Comment from my group project teammate. You don’t need to comment every line lol
Recently talked to a 90+ year old man in a park in front of his nursing home, guy is a former RC plane enthusiast. Can’t do anything now because of his age, though. Bored all the time, sitting in the park is his highlight....
Some sites even from the megathread of this /c/ doesn’t sometimes show health or if it is complete . Also even reccomended torrent search engine websites suck and only crawls through some websites is there any you would rec ? Most traditional ones doesn’t work either like DDG, Google or brave any that work ?...
Are they worth considering or only worth it at certain price points?
Retro games are often known for being more difficult than their modern brethren. Every now and then though you run into a game that is actually too easy. Which game would you prefer to have more of a challenge?
Cos if so why can I see a whole bunch of mod actions on the lemmy.ml mod-log but not here? If it doesn’t how/why would any other instance respect a moderation action by another instance let alone know about it?
This is the laptop in question. It has an x86 processor so basically any distro should work on it. However, it is still a Chromebook which likely means Google fuckery in the BIOS. But it’s great value for the money (can get it $300 off at Costco) and if I can plop Linux on to it then I’d love it.
